When I immigrated here from Canada I obviously didn't have 2 years worth of tax returns.

A lot of tenant groups and entitlement groups are using the rent control to push their politicians into local government spotsRent controls will only accelerate the ghettoization of So Cal and Orange County.Anywhere rent control occurred across the nation - it resulted in a deterioration of the community.Nobody wants to address the REAL causes of higher rents - like illegal immigration - that lowers supply thereby increases demand.Simple economicshttps://www.ocregister.com/2018/03/24/rent-control...Rent control push through LA areahttps://www.buildium.com/blog/ab-1506-threatens-re...California AB1506 got pushed back for nowhttps://www.pressherald.com/2017/10/12/portland-ra...Portland Rent control push

Hello Fellow BP'ers and especially Detroiters,I am an architect and an RE investor from Israel.Although I have been involved in the building industry for around 20 years, (mainly as an architect but also with RE investment experience locally, in the UK and a little in South Africa), I am relatively new to the US market.I have been following the posts and podcasts on this site for a while, and am really impressed with the length and breadth of the information and networking available.As you are probably guessing I was tempted into the Detroit market like a lot of others, seeking alternatives to relative low returns elsewhere, and promises of 2 figure ROI with ease.

I'm currently in the Armed Forces in the UK and would love to invest in the US property market.It would be best if I told you my interests:I am looking for cheap homes to fix up and rent out for a positive cash flow to pay the house off and move onto the next.I have seen houses on many websites that are foreclosures, in a bad state of repair or old and neglected for under $5000, which is great for me being in the UK.I've been looking at properties that closely resemble or come close to this one:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?

And I'm currently interested in REI in UK, going to fly to London and explore up North, in 2 weeks time to at least check out the market. 

Hello, I want to start researching the UK's market but I'm not sure where to start or where I can find the necessary information.I know that similar posts have been written but I couldn't find anything UK specific.I'm looking for stuff like job growth, population growth, new construction and that's all I have come up with- if you have any suggestions about what else I should know - let me know please.Thank you in advance :D

My mom immigrated here, not knowing how to speak English, and worked her *** off to support my sister and I.

Hello,I am a citizen of India currently living in UK.

Greetings BP,I am an Immigration attorney currently living in NYC.

I wonder how recent immigrants get around REI if this is the case.Anyway, I just want to get my first rental property that 0) Will be finance-able with the money I have and the mortgage facilities available to me :)1) Will be less prone to vacancy (always rented).2) Will generate at least enough money to cover all expenses (all things being equal) even if it does not yet generate significant positive cash flow.3) Will appreciate over time.Gurus. . . any advice will be appreciated - especially relating to the Calgary real estate market.
